Fundraising for The European Nature Trust
Story
Only one percent of Europe’s old growth forest is still intact and half is in the Carpathian mountains of Romania. These forests are home to a wealth of large predators, which is rare for European habitats and these animals are vital for maintaining the balance of entire ecosystems.
Like the rest of the wooded wilds around the world, deforestation and illegal logging are decimating trees that have stood for generations. Some 50 percent of all logging in Romania is illegal. This is having disastrous effects on local wildlife, especially large predators like wolves and bears that need space. We stand to lose one of the earth’s greatest wildernesses and it's time to try and do something about it.
Your donations will fund the purchase of two new "Wild Kingdom" buses for The European Nature Trust children's mobile environment education programme.
